The present invention pertains to improvements in a cigarette holder orypipe stem and hasr for one of yits objectsto provide a constructioncomprising complementary elements which may 5 be quickly assembled incompact relationship characterized by an air tight seal to precludeleakage between contiguous contacting faces thereof and as anotherobject the invention comprehends a device which .may be readily.separated whereby access may be hadto the interior of the elementscollecting saliva and other juices deposited therein for quicklyremoving the objectionable deposits by Washing and cleansing in any Wellknown fashion.

More particularly theinvention contemplates provision of means forsupporting one end of a' cigarette in a pocket defined by` splitcomplementary elements having corresponding" at faces mutually held incontacting relation after assembly by a casing or jacket. Y y

Another object is to provide novel means associated with a cigarettesupport for quickly discharging the cigarette member therefrom.

Specifically, another object is the yprovision of ed association with acasing, while another coniplement is frictionally held to the casing,al-

though it is Within the scope of the invention to provide eachcomplement V,of the aforemenv'. 30Vtioned insert with means forfrictionallyand wedgeably connecting Vwith the interior surfaces of thecasing. z Y

Another aspectand a further advantage there- 35 of is in the provisionof a split insert comprising Ycial adjustment to assemble preparatory tobeing `secured and held in proper relation by the caling.

Broadly speaking, the invention aims to provide a split insert havingcontiguous parts in contact and held in such contact by a unitaryIdevice having an interior surfacev adapted to Isnugly and Wedgeablycontact the `exterior surface of said insert and comprising inassociation with the aforesaid device in reality a one piece VVmemberfor carrying into eect the purposes uof the invention. 1 l

linclusive, 10 generally..designates a casing corn- 'prising a Aunitarymember includllgjlie longiandtaperingbre 11 vvith 'the narrow end,thereof. at.the .mouth n casing `and `.itslongest gage 16 and 17defining the longitudinal boregener .ally referred to, as 18 adapted toconduct the fumes or smoke from the cigarette (not shown)Y 2 countersunkand threaded as illustrated for a purpose hereinafter set forth. i

For increasing the ornamental appearance orA the casing the latterpreferably has the mouthV piece portion elliptical having its narrowergage or dimension adjacent the guard 14, however, graduallyl increasingits gage therefrom until the elliptical surface merges with thecylindrical surface 14j substantially half the distanceA between theendsof the casing and from that point the other half of the casing has anouter cylindrical surface. v

Associated with the casing and disposed withw in the tapering borethereof is the cigarette supporting split insert, broadly denoted 15,which comprises complementary juxtaposed elements tion or threaded neck21 to cooperate and engage .with the 'countersunk threaded portion 13 ofthe casing and an extension with flat grippingfaces 22 or cigarettereceiving portion 22 including a depression as y23 adapted forsupporting the cigarette member in pocket ZGdened by thedepressions whensuperimposed as illustrated, it Abeing noted that the extension of eachcomplement comprises a stop or semi-annular shoulder 25 extending beyondor overhanging the casing which` stop limits movement of the insertwithin and against the casing.

To provide an air or smoke tight seal between.

the complementary elements of the insert, each element and extensionthereof includes a smooth at face as 24 on both wings as 26 of itsrespec-.- .tive groove, the correspondingadjacent faces of thejuxtaposed elements mutually contacting, which engagement is preservedto provide a leak proof joint by the casing or encompassing member 10after the complements of the insert have been -assembled with their flatfaces labutting and thrust into the casing after which kthe latter isthreaded a'gainst'the threaded portions of the complements.-l With thecomplements secured in the casing, it willY be noted that the mouthpiece ends thereof lie flush With the end plane of the casing andfurther .that the outside tapering curved surfaces of each complementaryelement bears snugly in engagementl with and against the curved insidetapering surface of the casingand in: this relation the shoulders 25areagainst the end wall of the casing. It is thus apparent that not onlyisthe transverse leakage prevented bei tween the complementary elements,but additionally transverse leakage' cannot take place bevtween 'theinsert and the casing.

@ToV secure acigarette in the holder, the split parts of the insert arefirst disconnected from the fcasing, one end ofthe cigarette beingplaced in a rdepression or seat of an extensionof one element, .theother depression of the associated complementary elenfientisy placed inregistry over `the cigarette 1 and Vthe' insert carrying the Cigaretteis bodily moved inwardly being Yclaouped in the `v'pocket constitutedbythe superimposed depressions a ndas, the casingand the neck inembers21 are connected, the shoulders or stops 25 are against the casingWherebythe flat adjacent faces of the elements are held snugly incontact,

'being maintained in such contact by the clamping action of the casing.

If it is desired to discharge the cigarette from lthe insert thelatterisfirst unthreaded and one complement is slidably moved forwardly withrespect to the other and the cigarette fallsoi without any need of theoperator touching or picking the cigarette. As illustrated in Fig. l,each of the components of the insert is provided with a threadedenlarged neck 2l and each Wingv as 26 with flat and uninterrupted facesas 24.v `With the modification shown in Figs. 5 8 inclusive, only onecomponent of the insert is provided with an enlarged threaded neck-portion as 30 While the other component includes a uniformally smoothuninterrupted circular but tapering outside surface extending from theundercut shoulder 3150i the extension 32'to the end face 33 of theterminal 34, it being noted, however, in ,thisV instance that theshoulder 3 1' although belovvv the upper surface of the casing stillprovides a stop to limit the movement of the casing along the insert orvice versa, bearing in mind that the gap formed betweeny the shoulder 36and the adjacent end wall of the casing serves to per'- mit a fingernail ofthe operator therein.

In this Way, by applying an outward force against the shoulderedyelement"15 will be slidf ably moved to the position indicated by thedotted lines as shown in Fig. thereby, discharging the cigarette membereven though, the is retained by the casing.

Itrvfill be understood that although I 'have shown in Fig. 5 but oneelement having a smooth outside curved and tapering surface, both of theelements may be similarly; constructed,- (see Fig.

9) namely with' smooth curved tapering surfaces,

the elements apart from theirenlarged exten',- sions as 22 or 32constitute a frustoconical bored body when assembled being uniformlytapering with the-outside entire surface't'hereof after assembledmutually and frictionally engaging the.

inner surfaces of the casing, the entire length thereof.

Further distinguishing in construction over the embodiment of Figs;1*-4, the insert of Figs. 6-10 inclusive comprises an element with alongitudinally ldisposed indentation 39 in each Wing 40,

Whilethe contiguous element contains Ya longitudinally disposedrib orbead 43 in each wing as 44 on .the 'opposite side of its respectiveaxial groove 45. The ribs of one component are guided T1730 by and maybe slidably moved along'the adjacent indentations with the contiguousflat faces of the complements as well as the surfaces of the beads` andtheir corresponding grooves, in contact thereby preventing anytransverse leakage transversely .-135

of the insert'.v

In Figs. 9 and 10, a supplementary lock may be provided for the enlargedsplit contacting exten-` sions as 22, which when assembled-have an outercontour, octagonal vin shape, as in Fig.2, but one extension of thevinsert is provided Withl aV small but rounded protuberance' 45 adaptedto be received by indent 46 of theother complement,I one extension beingso arranged, that "anfoutward,

'thrust applied to the shoulder 47 will separate the .145'

elements to eject the cigarettepreviously retained other element v inthe pocket'23 defined by the extensions as is vvell understood, it beingfurther noted that each complement of the insert contains a continuouslyand uninterrupted smooth and vtapering but curvedoutsidegsurface,"andvvhen the elements broadly denoted 52 `'whichincludes split mentary elementsl and 17 having flat faces 53` areassembled, the outer surfaces thereof are frictionally and Wedgeablyretained by the inner wall of the casing.

As heretofore mentioned, the invention broader aspects may be appliedtoa pipe in which 504 designates the bowl provided with the integralextension 51 for frictionally receiving the stem clude air or gasleakage by the removable jacket.

61, it being understood, of course, that the octag` onal intermediateand enlarged portion 62 of the insert limits the extent to which thelatter may be moved into the extension or arm 51 of the pipe and thatthe vtobacco may beV suitably packed` above and around the perforatedupper element. Thus it is apparentthat the pipe stem may be readilyremoved from the bowl and Yquickly detached and cleansed.v With the pipestem revmoved, the bowl may be also easily cleansed.

The foregoing disclosure has been given by way of preference forclearness and understanding. Hence no unnecessary limitations should beunderstood and the appended claims should be construed as broadly as thestate of the art permits.
